Make no mistake #Canada's #Budget2023 is a war budget. No other federal program received more 💰 than @NationalDefence. $55 billion for @NATO & @NORADCommand programs & more weapons ⬇️ China, Russia & Iran called threats. 1/3 🧵
@cafreeland @FinanceCanada @VOWPeace @WBWCanada Image
Canada's budget also has special feature on new fighter jets ⬇️ $19 billion for #F35s + $7B for new runways. @JustinTrudeau invests more in militarizing the Arctic than protecting it. #GroundTheF35
#Budget2023 Is Not #YourBudget.

Govt prioritizes Ukraine over climate. #Budget2023 has 65 references to #Ukraine, only 49 mentions of #climate though we're in a #ClimateEmergency. Lots of $ for military too little for climate. Read: bit.ly/3zfklbz #Demilitarize

Help ordinary Russians be heard. Sign the petition to lift sanctions that help Putin thrive and continue his senseless war. Lift sanctions on Russians, not oligarchs. #stopthewar change.org/p/lift-sanctio…
We don't have friends in high places. Ursula von der Leyen and Josep Borelle do not answer our emails. And our own politicians are more interested in defending oligarchs who benefited from Putin’s regime than people who sacrificed everything to fight it.
Друзья! Вы видели, как
российские оппозиционеры лоббируют снятие санкций с олигархов. Они заступаются за людей, которые за 23 года путинского правления сколотили капитал на строительстве приятного фасада режима, а теперь «не хотят ассоциироваться» с результатами своих действий.

❗ Однажды русские поймут, что ни Украина, ни Европа, ни США не хотят уничтожить РФ! Нашим соседям нужно от нас, лишь признание верховенства международного права и предсказуемость внешней политики! 1/7
Взаимовыгодное сотрудничество без"спецопераций" и заказных убийств на территории иных суверенных государств, и исполнение всех подписанных договоренностей.
2/7
Единственный, кто планомерно уничтожает нашу страну, вот уже 23 года, пересидевший на троне диктатор, сошедший с ума от вседозволенности без общественного контроля (давления снизу).

Because Russia has a long track record for using ceasefires to prepare for future offensives, it's like their most common play. Russia needs to pull all its forces out of the Donbas and Crimea for there to be a real peace, either by choice or by force.
At best you can accuse the #stopthewar movement of stunning naivete when it comes to any sort of peace process with Russia that starts by leaving Russian forces inside Ukraine. Until they start saying Russia must withdraw, their proposals are worthless & would only extend the war
It's clear Russia won't withdraw, and obvious to anyone who pays attention Ukraine understands a ceasefire will just be used by Russia to reinforce, so neither side wants peace on terms the other side is willing to accept, so these speeches are just empty rhetoric.

Don't trust those telling you that everyone in Russia supports the war - there are quite a few movements against the war.
One of our aims is to make antiwar protest visible, so today we'll tell you about some regional antiwar initiatives inside Russia🧵
#Resistance
Free Kalmykiya
This anti-war movement organizes protests and helps people in need of evacuation in Kalmykia: it provides information support, helps with transportation and temporary housing. It stands up for the idea of real federalization of 🇷🇺

New Tyva
This initiative campaigns against the war with Ukraine among the countrymen, helps them avoid mobilization and evacuation to Mongolia and Kazakhstan, conducts political actions, and supports activists.

THREAD: Conscripts are ordinary Russians - many with families - who are ripped from their working lives.
They go from Novosibirsk or Omsk, to the frontlines of Donestk within a week.
No training. No tent. No uniform. No food or even water. No money. No morale.
/1

#Russia #Ukraine
Once on the front lines, they see truth of the situation: entire battalions have lost 70%, 80% or 90% of their men.
The carnage is insane.
Some conscripts die in a day.
/2
And the carnage is only worsening as
1) more Ukrainian troops get trained
2) more western weaponry arrives under Lend-lease
and 3) more Russian weaponry is captured by Ukraine from routed & fast-retreating Russian battalions.

1/n LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR!!!!
Well as my last attempt⤵️to #StopTheWar in #Ukraine failed to get any traction I thought my 2nd attempt should start with a bang or in the words of #DrStrangelove"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
2/n It seems I am not scary enough to scare sense into some participants of the current war, I thought trying to use a selection of #GNUTerryPratchett words from #Discworld #Jingo & #Hogfather along with some horrors of war concepts might persuade #WarCriminals in the conflict
3/n that a better path might be available to them and others if the war ended quickly but as another Author @Kurt_Vonnegut said of horrors in another War #SoItGoes🤷‍♂️
I started with the words
“LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR‼️‼️”
From the #WarGames film

The NATO summit in Madrid was a momentous gathering. Ukraine was at the heart of the discussions. Here is a summary of the main points:

#NATOSummit #StopTheWar @Vitaliy_Klychko 1/7
1) NATO leaders branded Russia “the most significant and direct threat to Allies’ security and to peace and stability” not only in Ukraine but the whole world. 2/7
2) Allies will continue to provide major military and financial help. They expressed their support by agreeing to a ‘Comprehensive Assistance Package’ for Ukraine. 3/7

1/ @YvesRocherFR, dont la plainte a envoyé @navalny au Goulag, après une quasi-fatale tentative d'empoisonnement, continue tranquillement son business en #Russie 🇷🇺, pays commettant des dizaines de milliers de crimes de guerre en #Ukraine...
@UkrinformFra

2/ ...voire en commettant des crimes contre l'humanité en #Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Selon @benjaminkeltz journaliste à @lemondefr, le député @Paul_Molac & le Président de la @regionbretagne, Loïg Chesnais-Girard, @LoigCG, n'y trouvent rien à redire.
@uacrisis Paul Molac, UkraineLoïg Chesnais-Girard, Ukraine
3/ MM @BrisRocher, #JacquesRocher,les élus, vous semblez ne pas penser que la complicité d'une entreprise dans le martyr de @navalny et dans l' étouffement de toute opposition en #Russie 🇷🇺, devrait contraindre celle-ci à adopter une attitude exemplaire.

Мои пять копеек по поводу девятого мая в школах.

Когда я была во втором классе, к нам в честь девятого мая позвали ветерана. Я училась в Твери, ветерана из другого города привезти сложно, так что к нам пришёл ветеран Ржевской битвы.
О том, что такое Ржевская Мясорубка, я узнала значительно позже. Советское командование принимало одно охуенное стратегическое решение за другим, и просто привозило ещё людей.
Из-за проёбов командования о Ржеве почти не говорили и не писали, хотя потери там как в Сталинграде, да и стратегическая значимость не меньше. Возмущаться было некому, потому что местных жителей выжило меньше 10%
Только в 2007г Ржеву присвоили хотя бы "Город воинской славы".

I've just witnessed a couple of videos online showing supposedly Ukrainian "traitors" tied to trees and lampposts in sub freezing temperatures whilst the public humiliate, and join in punishing them. They even tied up children. How can anyone ignore let alone defend this?
This is truly shocking. Our mainstream media is silent. How can anyone defend this? #StopTheWar
If you're okay with this, please unfollow me. This is not okay. This is absolutely shocking and horrific. #StopTheWar

1/🧵Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted a massive humanitarian crisis. For many the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming 💔.

Here are some great ways to help (some not even requiring any money).

Please retweet & share 🇺🇦🌻💙💛#Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #HelpUkraine Image
2/🧵Ways to help include donating to Ukraine via a registered charitable organization, donating money /goods / points / miles, fundraising, volunteering, attending rallies, contacting MPs, fighting disinformation online, etc. 🇺🇦💪#Ukraine #HelpUkraine
3/🧵Money is still the most effective gift.

Most charities prefer donations of cash due to issues with donated goods (logistical hurdles, custom regulations, transport costs, lacking capacity of nonprofit teams to sort the goods, carbon footprint, etc.). 💲🇺🇦#GiveMoney #Ukraine Image

1/n It seems that these are trying times in #Ukraine at the moment, for those in that country with a slightly dark sense of humour this #Discworld reading list may be morale building & also informative in your current situation
2/n #GNUTerryPratchett also has a range of books more suitable to the younger reader & may also be a good distraction if you can get hold of them in your current situation see full reading list below.
3/n The real point of this thread is to get some ideas to @DefenceU & people of #Ukraine on how to #StopTheWar by persuading the Russians currently in #Ukraine to cease their actions & go home, by the very careless use of words to paint a vivid picture of some of their possible

Хроники безумия

— Зеленский назвал «особями» не жителей Донбасса, а сотрудников российских спецслужб, попавших под санкции.
— Твоё место — рядом с нацистами Зеленского

🙆‍♂️
Хроники безумия

Опять-таки, не знаю, прямой это нарратив пропаганды или выводы на её основе, но её зрители говорят такое:

Украинские города якобы бомбит конкретно «Азов», который является огромной организацией, захватившей власть в Украине. Никаких других вооружённых сил нет
🙆‍♂️
О «положительной обратной связи» пропаганды:

Зрители пропаганды рассказывают друг другу пропущенные детали, чем создаётся впечатление о нескольких источниках информации, хотя всё это одна и та же сказка
🤦‍♂️

Es widert mich an. Ein Wut-Thread aus aktuellem Anlass.

Während keine zwei Flugstunden von uns entfernt seit einer Woche Menschen – darunter entgegen sämtlicher Propaganda-Lügen des Kremls auch zahlreiche Zivilisten, Familien, Frauen und Kinder – durch einen Überfall des
Autokraten Putin bombardiert und mit Leid und Schrecken überzogen werden, schäme ich mich hier in unserem Friedensparadies Deutschland für eine Gruppe von vernagelten Vollidioten, Realitätsverweigerern und Putin-Freunden zunehmend in Grund und Boden. Verblendete „Spaziergänger“,
die unter dem Vorwand „Frieden, Freiheit, keine Diktatur!“ durch unsere Straßen ziehen und dabei ihren unsäglichen Schwachsinn verbreiten dürfen – weil sie in diesem freien und friedlichen Land eben sämtliche Vorzüge einer Demokratie wohlwollend ausnutzen – sich bei den Pflichten

对于中国朋友来说,这是一个很好的机会,以思考这个随时都有可能变成紧迫和致命的问题,即:如果您的国家与其他国家之间发生战争,您会怎么做?

这比战争本身更可怕,更复杂。

局势:俄罗斯关闭大片黑海和几乎整个亚速海进行军事演习。

One of Israel’s strategies in current aggression to worsen the situation for Palestinians is damaging roads especially those around the largest hospital in #Gaza, so ambulances & rescue teams struggle to save lives #prayforGaza #GazaUnderAttack
